5-bedroom house. Close to airport, bus & train. 10 min from Boston. Sleeps 10.

5-bedroom, 2 full bath house, 7 mi to Boston/airport, 1000 FT to bus and train and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Luxury appointments, upscale furniture, hotel bedding, "5-star kitchen" per a famous chef who stayed, AC/heat (mini-splits) in all rooms, fenced in yard, and 3-car driveway.

The City of Melrose was the #1 real estate market in the U.S. in 2015 and #4 in 2020 (search "hottest zip code melrose ma 2015"). It receives praise from visitors due to its quaint downtown within walking distance, restaurants and a Whole Foods supermarket.

*1st Floor: Large, open-concept, "5-star kitchen," (includes paper towel roll, dish cloths, new sponge and food staples, e.g. cooking oil, spices, sugar, coffee, etc.); dining room; full bath; and foyer. Large 20x20 deck off of the kitchen with gas grill.

*Basement: Large finished room.

2 Pack 'n Play, 2 high chairs, baby gate and stroller

The driveway holds 3 cars, but the 3rd spot is tight. There is no on-street parking overnight.

Check in is 4 pm or later and check out is by 11 am, but I can accommodate early arrivals or late departures depending on other guests' timing. Please contact me to coordinate about 2 weeks prior.

Please tell me about your group, pets and the reaon you're visiting when inquiring or booking. Someone in the group should be at least 35-years old, but I make exceptions. This a great place for family and mature friends to gather, but not a party house. Parties will result in immediate eviction, no refund for the remaining days, and a charge for any cleaning beyond the normal cleaning fee.

Boston Marathon guests must arrive on at least the Friday of the weekend prior.

The minimum-night stays for Nov 18 - 22, 2024, are: 1 night if arriving on Nov 18 or 21 or 2 nights if arriving on Nov 19 or 20.

Wedding celebration
Our group of 8 were visiting for a wedding. The home was spacious and we did not feel we were not on top of each other when we were at the house. We were close to the train to get to Boston. The deck was a great place to sit and catch up. Communication with the owner was awesome. He was very responsive and helpful. The owner is willing to work with guest with checking in and out! The drive way is tight, however we were able to fit 3 vehicles. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended Turners Seafood, get the stuff shrimp!! The home was clean. The house is well stocked for cooking( even though we did not cook). The beds were comfy for our stay. The 3rd floor bedroom is a climb but we made the youngs one take that one!! The upstairs shower water does not get that hot, it is luke warm. The downstairs shower is super hot! Both had great water pressure. The living room couch is big enough for all of to sit comfortably to watch some football!

Clean, Has everything you need, Great location!
We stayed three nights while visiting Boston for a portion of our family vacation. Greg is super communicative and easy to reach if needed. The property was very clean and had everything we need. We are a fairly picky group as some of us own rental properties and we have a chef in our group. While we didn’t do any cooking, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the walkability of the neighborhood and walked to dinner and the waterfall nearby. Super comfy beds and elevated soaps/shampoos are a nice touch!

Lovely house in Melrose
Great house and location in Melrose, appropriate for family group. Property is as described and appliances that we used worked fine (with exception of garbage disposal); a new dishwasher was delivered to the property on our last morning there so it seems like next group will have a new one! Host is very involved and clearly cares about property; he texted with both information and instructions about the house and came to mow lawn, weed/water garden while we were there.

My family had a wonderful time staying with our family dog for my son’s college graduation in Boston. Greg was a courteous and most gracious host and we thoroughly enjoyed being all together, lounging on the back porch, cooking and eating family meals, and just hanging out! There was nothing lacking and we would definitely stay again!

Excellent Weekend Stay!
We traveled to the area for the Boston Marathon. This home and location were the perfect place for us to be able to relax, cook our own food, and prep for the weekend without the hustle/bustle of the city. The close proximity to public transportation was great and it was an affordable Uber ride into Boston as well. The walkability of the town - to restaurants, churches, groceries, etc. - was excellent. The neighborhood was quiet and the home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Greg was a wonderful and responsive host. Would definitely stay there again!

Family Visit to Boston area
We recently spent 3 nights at this beautiful home in Melrose. We had six adults and one child in our party as well as our two dogs. The home was spacious , warm and very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out. The location is perfect. It’s easy to get into Boston via the train. The station is just a few minutes from the house. It’s also a very short drive to get on I-93 and I-95. There are several great restaurants within walking distance. Greg, the host, was outstanding. He was very communicative and accommodating . We will definitely be booking this house again. I highly recommend it!!

The house is a 4 BR, one of which is a lovely 3rd floor loft with one full bathroom on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms and one full bath off the kitchen on main floor. Spacious, well appointed kitchen. Had a small problem with the oven tripping the breaker which Greg promptly arrived and resolved. Great location just 2 miles from my daughter's house and right beside main street. The only reason I gave a 4 star was a dirty pan left in the oven and no towels or body wash in the bathrooms. Plenty of towels in laundry room tho. Will definitely stay here again!
